The present study compares the photocatalytic decolorization ability of bare Mn-doped ZnO and montmorillonite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles towards aqueous solution of organic dyes (methylene blue and malachite green) under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, electron spin resonance, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Comparison of degradation efficiency demonstrated that montmorillonite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibited higher activity than bare Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles.

Undoped and Mn (1 and 3 at.%) doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple chemical co-precipitation method. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data revealed that undoped and Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles crystallize in the monophasic wurtzite structure and monotonous expansion of the lattice constants with increasing Mn content, due to the effective Mn doping. TEM images of all the samples showed the monodispersive spherical particles with the size of ~7 nm. The quantum confinement of nanoparticles was tested from UV–Vis absorbance measurement and the particle sizes were calculated and compared with TEM and XRD. The chemical compositions were analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In order to investigate the origin of ferromagnetism, the electronic structures of the Zn , O , and Mn atoms were probed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS data revealed that most of the dopants (Mn) exists in +2 oxidation state for 3 at.% Mn doped ZnO sample. The magnetization curves of the Mn doped ZnO samples indicate the existence of room-temperature ferromagnetic (RTFM) behavior. Here the observed RTFM in Mn doped ZnO can be attributed to the substitutional incorporation of Mn at Zn sites rather than due to the formation of any secondary phases.

Transition metal ions (Co and Cr) doped ZnO nanoparticles supported on natural zeolite were synthesized using co-precipitation method. The synthesized samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The samples were further used as photocatalyst for degradation of methyl orange and methylene blue in aqueous solutions under UV light irradiation. The results showed that zeolite supported Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles is more efficient compared with zeolite supported Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles. It is also revealed that zeolite supported samples possessed higher photocatalytic efficiency compared to bare samples.
